Overview

Packed with Premium Navigation Features

nüvi 3490LMT is part of Garmin's flagship collection of premium navigators. With a stunning ultra-sleek design it is less than 9mm thin, making it the slimmest navigator in the world with dual-orientation 4.3" touchscreen display. It is one of our first Live Ready sat navs and is equipped with Garmin's new lightning-fast Guidance 3 navigation engine making it swift to operate, quick to calculate and reliable to navigate. Other premium Garmin features inside include 3D traffic, lifetime maps, our unique Cyclops Speed Cameras and Bluetooth hands-free calling.

Powered by Guidance 3

The Guidance 3 premium navigation engine offers significant benefits including notably faster route calculations so you can get going much quicker. It provides a faster, more intuitive user interface as well as more accurate searches.

It also includes Garmin's innovative Bird's Eye junction view which gives an overhead perspective of the correct lane to be in when approaching complex junctions. This is particularly useful in areas that require multiple manoeuvres.

Other useful features include Automatic Orientation whereby nüvi will adjust the display depending on whether it is in portrait or landscape position and the ability to 'pinch and zoom'. Guidance 3 also offers 3D terrain, buildings and landmarks to show a realistic image of the road ahead.

Live real-time information via Smartphone Link

nüvi 3490LMT is also 'Live Ready' - via Garmin Smartphone Link - an Android app which provides live services to the sat nav. Smartphone Link creates a seamless navigation experience between the nüvi and your Android mobile phone to communicate and share data. Among other functionalities, this lets you add live services to your sat nav such as
3D Live Traffic which provides real-time information to help you navigate in and around traffic problems. 3D Live Traffic updates every two minutes with 2000 messages including details of traffic incidents, road conditions and delays. There is 99% coverage of traffic flow data on all major motorways as well as A and B roads making it. 3D Live traffic gives you the best all-round view of the traffic situation at any given moment – it is fast, reliable and accurate.

Your understanding of the traffic conditions is further enhanced by PhotoLive traffic cameras, available via Smartphone Link, which can be called up on demand for a real-time view of your route from the traffic cameras.

Avoid traffic tie-ups

To keep drivers moving, the nüvi 3490LMT includes subscription-free 3D traffic for the lifetime of the product.1

Delivered via traditional RDS-TMC, the service combines trafficTrends™ historic route data together with information on the current traffic situation to identify congestion and incidents on your planned journey. An astonishing 80 million sources are used to understand what's happening on the roads, with comprehensive coverage of motorways and A roads across the UK and Europe. If there are queues, you'll be offered an alternative route to avoid any delay.

Free Map Updates for Life

With nüvi 3490LMT, you can drive reassured you've always got the most up to date maps, points of interest and navigation information on board. The very latest maps are available to download up to four times a year with no subscription or update fees.

Hands-free for safer driving

nüvi 3490LMT comes with Garmin's innovative voice-activated navigation so you can choose how you want to control it. Simply wake up the sat nav using your customised voice command and speak the menu options on the screen for totally touch-free navigation.

With built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, you can sync with your compatible mobile phone for hands-free phone calling and even access your phone book and call history via the sat nav – no need to look at, touch or even find your phone. Garmin's SafeTexting even speaks your text messages, eliminating another risk of distraction.

Know the lane before it's too late

Avoid confusion at tricky exits and junctions. nüvi 3490LMT's Lane Assist with PhotoReal Junction View shows the lane you need to be in at upcoming major junctions and exits with incredible detail of your surroundings right down to the trees, bridges and pylons. From a mile before the junction, the sat nav enters split screen mode to show your position on the map alongside a realistic depiction of your upcoming manoeuvre, with accurately reproduced road signs for confident navigation and reassurance you're on track.

Keep an eye on the latest speed cameras

Find fuel-efficient routes

Garmin's ecoRoute fuel-saver technology finds the most fuel-efficient route to a destination, helping drivers save money while being kinder on the environment. The innovative feature tracks fuel usage and calculates the cost of a journey as well as enabling accurate expense reporting.

Smart mount system

nüvi 3490LMT is even more convenient to use. It has a "smart" mount, to provide a constant power source and it automatically powers on and off with the vehicle engine. An extra speaker in the mount provides a volume boost if you need it. When the sat nav is removed from the mount, nüvi automatically marks your parked position and it finds the nearest parking to your location for the ultimate convenience.
